Used Ford Focus for Sale in Saint Paul, MN

The Ford Focus attracted me most due to its economical starting price tag and decent fuel economy. I purchased the vehicle just before beginning law school and wanted something that would be reliable, get good gas mileage and not need costly repairs during a period where I wasn't working more than part-time. For a 4 cylinder vehicle, my Focus could get up to 70+ MPH in a hurry. I drove from Minnesota to California in the vehicle and never questioned my ability to do so. The interior, stereo system and trim were fairly basic. This was a no frills vehicle for a no frills period in my life.

The 2013 Ford Focus is a simple yet efficient vehicle with variety of pros and cons that will be quickly discussed in this short review. The Ford Focus I purchased in May of 2017 was a used 2013 SE hatchback model with 79,500 miles at the time of purchase. This vehicle is silver with a black leather interior and has a five-speed manual with a 2.0 liter engine. I would say that I really enjoy this car because when I initially bought it, I was looking for a smaller vehicle that achieves decent gas mileage but also had a durable transmission and a reliable engine. The 2010's models of Ford Focuses are known to have transmission problems, so this is why I went with a five-speed manual transmission. The quality of interior in this car seems to be good and doesn't have that overly plastic feel to it. The color schemes seem to blend very well with the black leather and silvery trim. One thing that I have found to be a negative with this vehicle is the placement of the air-filter box. The car has a very large air filter, and it doesn't seem to fit in the box appropriately as it should, which makes it very hard to replace the screws and keep the top of the box on.
